Ticket Information

Event Details

More and more young people in Britain are becoming interested in politics, yet are being halted from getting involved by one simple problem… they don’t know how to.

Shout Out UK, UPF and RoadWorks Media will present and deliver a Free Thinking workshop, which is designed to help participants relate to their role in society. Looking at their background and how that can influence a political position.

We will be looking at how important it is to be able to understand a situation from multiple perspectives. Our workshop will aim to get you politically engaged by providing you with tools to empower the way you see yourself in society.

Keynote Speaker: Erica Buist, The Guardian Newspaper

Event proudly sponsored by Europe House and part of Parliament Week

The Campaign

AIM:To bring political education to schools as a separate core subject

Political education needs to teach students how the government works, how new laws are introduced, the differences in neighbouring democratic countries and finally how to become directly involved in British Politics: offering young people an inroad into British democracy, its benefits and our responsibility as citizens.

Politics is part of everyone’s life, saying “I don’t find it interesting” won’t make you immune to the government’s laws. Politics is not football, if you’re interested or not, it doesn’t matter, you should know how your country is run.

The Universal Peace FederationThrough forums, seminars, conferences, service programs, and interfaith peace initiatives, the Universal Peace Federation builds a global network of peacebuilders to contribute to a world of sustainable peace in which everyone can live in freedom, harmony, cooperation, and prosperity.

By involving young people in our projects and providing them with hands on training, we give them the power to gain experience, knowledge and confidence to build up their careers . Current projects include the creation of short films, the magazine, and a pod cast. We also run creative workshops that are open to participation.
